Jude Bellingham is expected to shine against AC Milan, becoming a breakthrough factor from the midfield to help Real Madrid gain an advantage in the tense match.

Jude Bellingham, who joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, has quickly become an indispensable factor in the Spanish Royal team’s playing style thanks to his ability to create opportunities and score goals from the middle of the field. In the role of a free number 10, Bellingham often joins the and creates breakthroughs by penetrating the penalty area, contributing to Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League titles last season with 23 goals and 13 assists.

His combination with experienced players such as Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga has created a creative and flexible midfield, helping Real Madrid maintain constant pressure on the opponent’s goal. With his accurate passing and intelligent reading of situations, Bellingham is not only a goalscorer but also a coordinator, creating rhythm and connection in Los Blancos’ play.

In the 2024/25 season, Bellingham still plays an important role in the Real Madrid squad, but the 2003-born star’s scoring form has declined significantly, contributing only 1 goal and 2 assists after the first 9 matches of the season. Part of the reason comes from Bellingham being asked to drop deeper in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s new tactical scheme to support the defense and control the game, especially when Kylian Mbappe joined the team and took on a key position on the attacking front. This change has limited Bellingham’s ability to the penalty area and score goals, but it helps balance the Real Madrid squad in the context of needing stability in the midfield.
